I have been wanting to just post a blog about the basics of what you can do at home to go green and help out this planet! so here are a few suggestions that I gathered off the net to help you facilitate this process to some small degree if you haven't already!

What You Can Do to Go Green

1. Plug into the hottest appliances. These sleek items are designed to not only look good and function efficiently, but to also conserve energy. Shop the products »

2. Keep your cabinets and counter-tops green. Purify the air in your home by using sustainable materials that look good and are easy on the planet, too. Get the goods »

3. Look for eco-friendly dishes and cookware. Prepare your family’s meals and serve them in chemical-free dishes made by Mother Nature herself. Buy the items »

4. Think energy-saving when you think windows. Surround your house with great style and save the planet while you do it by having insulated windows installed. View the windows »

5. Recycle with style. Instead of buying new furniture and accessories, look for vintage pieces or those made from recycled materials. See some examples »

6. Consider planet-friendly floors. Shop for all-natural materials like cork, bamboo and tile. They’re as chic as they are sustainable. »

7. Make a new bed, organically. From the mattress to the sheets, find out how your bed can be comfy and planet-friendly, too. »

well it looks like we may be able to still win equal marriage rights for gays in new jersey after all, and more importantly, today we won washington! Thank God for all victories no matter how small!:)bbL

more articles on Aromatherapy are coming in the future but i wanted to start out with talking about why essential oils work in the body! in future articles this will be clarified even more, but for now these semi-random notes will begin to educate you on why and how essential oils work as the greatest medicine that God gave us for the human body!

The basics of how essential oils work:
(Loush’s young living notes, and aromatherapy research)

Essential oils are plant substances, literally the extracted life blood of the plant (though not all plants will produce oil in large enough amounts to be used by humans and some plants, even some that are safe to eat produce toxic oils that should be avoided). These aromatic substances are made up of vital chemical compounds. There are several methods of application of utilizing the oils as medicines for the body! The three strongest being inhalation (breathing in their aroma), topical application (putting them on the skin, also called the act of anointing), and ingestion (taking them internally as a nutritional dietary supplement). Inhalation is the quickest way to use the oils. Essential oils have chemical compounds which enter directly into the brain when breathed and cause physiological change to happen by altering the current condition of the chemicals within the brain. Topical application is the second fastest way, and possibly the best way to use the oils. By applying the oils or oil blends on the skin they soak directly into the blood stream through the skin tissue much like water, they enter the blood stream and are distributed to the major organs of the body, pumped through the heart and into the brain. Another way to use the oils is by ingesting them. This can only be done with some essential oils and is not really the preferred method of utilizing them, because it does carry risks with some of the oils, and it generally takes three times longer to get the desired results.

Inhalation is breathing the oils through taking deep concentrated breaths of them (smelling them), diffusing them into the air, turning them into vapor or mists, turning them into room sprays, or burning them in oil burners or candles (although burners and candles carry far less therapeutic benefits).

Topical application includes applying them to the skin (and hair, as in the case of hair treatments, shampoos, or conditioners), massaging them into the skin, bathing in them, and wearing them as perfumes, body splash, or colognes. This may also include using them in cases of poultices (cataplasm’s), balms, packs, wraps, plasters, and etc….

Essential oils work to reprogram the cells, the d.n.a. and the r.n.a., as well as give oxygen, negative ions, and ozone to the body. They work on the electrical frequencies of the human body like flower essences. Essential oils have oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, glucocides, hormones, minerals, and amino acids. Part of their function or job is to carry nutrients to the body, and its cells. They can help keep us hydrated for longer periods of time. They perform the same duties for the human body as they do for the plants they come from. They can digest chemicals in the human body.

They can stimulate the secretagogue’s for producing human growth hormones, and anti- bodies for thyroid support. They can stimulate enzymatic activity for better digestive functions.
Essential oils work with the blood. When we bleed after a cut, it’s not just because our body was ripped open like a wine skin and the blood escaped. The bleeding performs a function, which is to help cleanse the area of any possible germs and infections, and deliver nutrients to that area of our body. This is so our body can start the process of tissue repair, just like a damages plant leaf will pour out the essential liquid (resin, juice, or oil) which is the blood of the blood. Blood is like essential oil, and transports what is the main ingredient of both which is oxygen. Essential oils produce the highest amount of oxygenating molecules of any substance known to man other that air and water. Bacteria can not live in ozone or a negative ion filled environment. Because of their chemical components and structure essential oils will detoxify the body, and push unwanted metals (including mercury) and chemicals out of the cells.
Oxygen pushes out toxins and brings potassium back into the cells, reestablishing normal cell function and balance. There has been to date no virus found that has or can build an immunity to essential oils. While most viruses can and do make themselves immune to western chemical non-organic “medicine”, through a simple mutation, and often a multiple microbial reproduction process. It would appear that God made ‘his medicines in nature right the first time. Statistics gathered by several university studies back in the late 1990’s, into the early 2000’s have shown that per year, respiratory, viral, and bacterial infections resulted in four million deaths. Diarrhea and related conditions, which are viral and bacterial in nature resulted in three million deaths, tuberculosis resulted in three million deaths, the hepatitis b virus three million deaths, (protozoa) malaria caused one million deaths, the viral measles caused eight hundred and eighty thousand deaths, tetanus caused six hundred thousand deaths, the aids virus five hundred and fifty thousand deaths, and the killer flu killed twenty million people in the past. These studies did not even cover the amount of deaths cause by cancer, heart disease, hunta virus, flesh eating viruses, strepticocci a, ebolo virus, small pox, or the cancer flu.
Antibiotics are a prime example of peoples stupidity and failings to try and out do what God did. Antibiotics do nothing to cure the root cause of a problem. Indeed all that antibiotics do is suppress symptoms deep into the human body system so that they do not manifest on the outside, Which in an absolute emergency situation may unfortunately be necessary. What this means is that instead of curing an imbalance the antibiotics suppress the warning lights that God designed to tell us that something is wrong! That is their sole function. They have absolutely no other function or ability. One must purge the infection out of the human body in order to be rid of it. Essential oils can kill germs, microbial’s, infections, viruses, bacteria’s, bad funguses, and a host of other things that humans are plagued by (including gangrene).

Cleansing, regeneration, and immunity can only be achieved through working from both the outside of the body to the inside, and the inside of the body to the outside simultaneously. Essential oils can help us to achieve this. One member of the essential oil chemical family groupings is especially important for the human body as medicine. That is the sesquiterpene’s, which have the unique and possibly extreme bennificial ability to go beyond the blood brain barrier. This has the potential of curing multiple scleroses, Parkinson’s disease, lou gehrig’s disease, and alzheimer’s disease. Oils that are high in this chemical compound have the ability when inhaled to increase oxygen production in the limbic system. Particularly around the pineal, and pituitary glands, and the amigdala. This also increases the secretion of certain anti-bodies, endorphins, and neurotransmitters. many diseases, and disorders of the human body have already been proven to be cured by essential oils including diabetes. Blood glucose levels are balanced by certain oils. Many cancers including breast cancer have been successfully treated, cured, prevented, and sent into regression (remission).

Essential oils have a natural harmonic coherent frequency that ranges between 52 and 300 hertz. man made things such as unnatural light (which usually carry a frequency of 60 hertz), or electronic appliances have incoherent chaotic frequencies which fracture the human electrical field. The fields can be healed and maintained between fractures. through the use of essential oils, and certain tools or practices such as Reiki, crystals, tuning forks, the q-link pendent, star chamber water (and tools), and etc…..
Spending time in nature is also essential to the health of our fields.
To keep our fields healthy we must have oxygen, anti-oxidants, and increased frequency.
Our bodies are electrical and everything around us has an electrical field and frequency. Essential oils and flower essences work on this electrical level and have electrical fields that are directly harmonious to our fields.
The cells of the human body must be kept healthy, hydrated, and oxygenated in order to be receptive to blood transports, vitamins, minerals, proteins, hormones, enzymes, amino acids, and nutrients. There is a direct coloration between the health of our cells and the health of our fields. Essential have the power to keep our cells healthy, and our immune system strong and properly functioning. When our immune system is weak or shut down, essential oils have the power to stimulate, rebuild, and turn on our immune systems.
The average persons body or field frequency ranges from 62 to 68 hertz, with their brain hertz frequency being 10 degrees higher in the day. At night this reverses and their body’s frequency raises in the night while the brain hertz frequency lowers. Coffee brings our field frequency down 5 points just by holding it, and it brings it down about 12 points when it is ingested (although it must be taken in small doses so as not to trigger an accelerated aging process). The field does not restabilize to the right frequency by itself for about three days. With essential oils however it can restabilize in about twenty one seconds. Disease begins at 58 hertz frequency. This shows how easy it is for our fragile but complex, and impressive systems to fall into disarray. The flu happens usually at 57 hertz, candida at around 55 hertz, Epstein barr at around 52 hertz, and cancer starting at around 42 hertz. This also shows theoretically how easy it is with the proper tools at our disposal to repair our human bodies and fields. This gives us greater understanding of the biblical teaching that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made”. “fearfully” in this instance actually refers to God planning the design of our bodies and beings, so well that it defies full human comprehension. A better word than fearfully in our modern tongue is “meticulously”. There are perhaps even better words than this in the English language, but meticulous seems the most appropriate in this capacity. When we do things to ourselves that compromise our human body frequency we can become a victim. Essential oils help reestablish the normal frequency and balance of the human cell.

European hospitals have treated a verity of illnesses through using essential oils as disinfection agents, cleaning agents, and diffusing them in the air through out the hospitals. Among these illnesses which have been successfully treated are respiratory infections, liver insufficiency, digestive insufficient, insomnia, phlebitis, and thrombosis.
Essential oils work with our neurons, causing the appropriate, intended cellular change.
Diffusion of essential oils actually purifies the air, increasing the oxygen, negative ions, and ozone which we breath in to survive. Essential oils fire synapses (and the axon) and can stimulate the regeneration of damaged nerve tissue. They increase the neurotransmitter that converts in the axon to electron. It fire across synaptic gaps. In birth defects, certain nerves didn’t connect. Essential oils will increase the firing of that synopsis, and it will jump across the gap and connect with the nerve that didn’t connect. Once it start firing it will grow closer until it grows together and hard wires, if this is the appropriate action in the body. The ancient egyptions had a three day cleansing ritual for the body practiced on people who were healthy, and those who were dying and about to enter the after life. They said this ritual cleansed the flesh and blood of evil deities. In our modern understanding what this means is that they were cleansing the body, mind, and spirit, of negative emotions and energies, and removing any memory trauma stored in the being, or cells of the body. Essential oils can clear emotional programming, and help reprogram us. Before an essential oil can be found in a plant, it must first have glucocides, which are the sugars or a plant. This may show a connection as to why glyconutrients help the human body (as in the case of ambertose by manatech). Glucides are conversions of plant proteins and contain hormones. It is worth noting that while protein and iron make blood, protein and magnesium make essential oils. Essential oils are God’s own food for the human body temple. Essential oils can cause enzymatic elimination of things like ammonia. Ammonia toxicity in the kidneys as you might know can cause cardiac arrest, and kidney failure. Essential oils send messages to the cell structure of d.n.a. and communicates genetic information. If we can eliminate the genetic coding which passes disease and such things, from one generation to the next, we can stop all genetic illnesses for future generations. Essential oils can aid us in this undertaking. Essential oils mimic many functions found in the nuclei of the cells, or cell d.n.a. and r.n.a.
r.n.a. is where emotional trauma is encoded. D.n.a. has a helix structure which rotates in a clockwise spiral. Essential oils have or take on a helix pattern in the body which allows them to fit perfectly into the helix pattern of the d.n.a. essential oils are like keys going into keyholes when this happens. Essential oils can take on this helix pattern bond with our d.n.a. helix and reverse the spiral of the d.n.a. helix cell structure. Then when this happens it erases or can erase negative and what was formerly thought permanent genetic encoded information. It will spin counter clockwise. Then when the d.n.a. is cleared of negative information, the helix will reverse itself back to a clockwise spin and normalize itself, making ready to receive new positive information. This is called cellular reprogramming. Doctor Gary Young founder of young living essential oils said that “if we live in the frequency of ecstasy then we will never experience disease”. This statement mirrors a quote from the late great Joseph Campbell who said “follow your bliss”. This means that if we live out our passions, and what we believe to be our dreams, purposes, and meanings; if we live in our truths as our authentic selves our joy which will experience as a result will keep our fields at a healthy frequency through out our lives. This is perhaps the reason why God gave the commandment not to lie. And why Christ gave the commandments that you should not swear or promise, but simply let your yes be yes and your no be no, to treat others how you would like to be treated, you reap what you so, judge not lest ye be judged, and love your God with all that you are! He also said that the truth would set us free, and we are only now beginning to understand what he was telling us on multiple levels!

When oxygen levels are compromised in the body potassium levels shrink, sodium levels rise, and our cell helixes experience a bad polarity shifting of frequencies making us more acidic. As we become more acidic and less alkaline we open ourselves up to disease. Acid breaks down the body. The more acidic we are the more we begin to die, and take on cancers, illnesses, and disease. Bad cells, meaning overly acidic cells will split and reproduce twice each time, and both of those cells will be predisposed to becoming cancerous, and indeed will have the codes for cancer written into them. Then these traumatized cells will repeat the reproduction process, and so on and so forth. Besides toxins, stress can also cause this to happen. The body can be completely taken over, that is to say that every cell in the body can be programmed with cancer in only a hundred and twenty days. The good news is that we can reverse this process. Even our thoughts can help us with this process. It has been scientifically proven that every time we have a negative thought we kill off cells in our body before they have time to replenish themselves, and when our negative thought s become words we kill three times as many cells. However the opposite is also true. Every time we have a positive thought it is a hundred times more powerful than a negative one, and we replenish cells in our body faster, and when we turn these thoughts into positive words then it is one thousand times stronger. That is why a patients attitude in overcoming an illness is so very important. Another important aspect of being healthy is having a clean colon. Clogged, or impacted colons are responsible for much of the disease and obesity in the world. On the energetic level this means that when we do not keep our lives, homes, and body clean of unwanted clutter, and free from stress be it mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual then we open ourselves up to sickness. We must keep ourselves “clean”, and free from the toxins of this world. Maybe this is part of the teaching from the bible that says “be in the world but not of the world”!

Corinthians 10:5 “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

1. A powerful destiny will affect the character of others.A powerful character will affect the habits of others.A powerful habit will affect the actions of others.A powerful action will affect the words of others.A powerful word will affect the thoughts of others.

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

This bible verse right here begins to prove the power of thought, the power of words, the power of prayer, and the principle spelled out in the Celestine prophecy series and other famous works like the secret; which is the law of attraction! These verses inspire me! with these verses we begin to understand why the bible tells us in many different ways over 800 times to make a joyful noise unto the lord, and to live in a spirit of gratitude, thankfulness, and appreciation! The native americans of yester year didn’t have a verbal concept equal to the phrase “thank you”; instead they used a phrase that is very special indeed, which is “my heart is full” or “I am full”! This concept moves beyond the mere lips service we pay when saying thank you. This phrase says so much more! When this phrase is said, the person saying it is telling someone that they created something; that they performed an action, service, kindness, or what the Hebrew tradition calls a “mitzvah” (good deed), which went inside of them and touched them at the deepest level of the heart and soul! We need to adopt this attitude towards the divine! And our attitude should not be based on outside circumstances but based rather on what is within our spirit! “I cry out to you lord out of the depths of my despair, and out of my currently bad circumstances and situations, and I say thank you oh Lord for the abundance that you have given to me, and the abundance that you are providing for me right now, and for the abundance that you will bring me into the future! Your Love my Lord is great indeed and fills all that I am, and my cup runeth over with your holy light”! This is what we should be saying to God every time we pray! God knows already our wants and needs, so most of our prayers to him should not be petitions or requests but instead we should talk to him like he is our God, and our greatest lover! Because guess what; he is! scripture teaches us that he is the lover of our soul! We need to remember this, and instead of begging from God, we just need to say “thank you, with your Love I am full”!

I will add more installments of inspirational bible verses as time goes by!

I received this information in 2002 in an e-mail from a friend! The shifting is almost half way through completion! It is said that we may have as many as thirteen strands when we humans are done evolving! People with large spiritual auras will experience their auras shrinking a little, while people with extremely small auras will experience theirs growing! Eventually we will all match; and while we will still be able to expand our auras and make then as big, and send them as far as we want, we will not have to keep them big most of the time in order to stay connected! Most of the information in our auric field layer called “the spirit shield” is in the process of coming into our d.n.a. think on this! We will not have to store as much information in our fields because our entire body will be energetic, and crystalline in form and nature! We will be able legends tell us to walk through walls, astral project our entire being at the speed of thought, and levitate at will eventually some where in the distant future! We will all be more like the character powder from the movie called “powder”! we will use our entire brain instead of the estimated 3-five percent! On average men use three percent, women use five percent, genius people use ten percent, and the highest percent ever recorded was Einstein with an average of thirteen percent! It is thought that da vinci used between thirteen and fifteen percent of his brain, and that one man in human history used one hundred percent of his; that man was Rabbi Yashua ben yosaf, ben pantar, of the royal house of David from the village of Nazareth (rabbi Jesus son of Joseph, son of the panther clan of the royal tribal house of king David from the town of Nazareth)!

Dr. Berrenda Fox provides evidence of DNA and cellular changes inthis article by Patricia Resch. Dr. Fox is the holistic practitionerof the Avalon Wellness Centre in Mt Shasta, California. The AvalonClinic represents the re-emergence of the ideal of healing aspractised on the original Isle of Avalon. Dr Fox has proven throughblood tests that some people have actually developed new strands ofDNA.

PR: Berrenda, tell us a little about your background.

BF: 1 have doctorates in physiology and naturopathy. During mytraining in Europe I also was involved with the media, and thisstill continues in film and management. As you know, I'm workingwith FOX Television Network to bring about understanding ofextraterrestrials and their role in what is happening with mankindat this time. The most well known are 'Sightings' and 'The X Files'.

PR: What are the changes that are happening at this time on theplanet, and how are our bodies being affected?

BF: There are major changes, mutations that haven't occurred,according to geneticists, since the time we supposedly came out ofthe water. Several years ago in Mexico City there was a conventionof geneticists from around the world, and the main topic was the DNAchange. We are making an evolutionary change, yet we don't know whatwe are changing into.

PR: How is our DNA changing?

BF: Everyone has one double helix of DNA. What we are finding isthat there are other helixes that are being formed. In the doublehelix there are two strands of DNA coiled into a spiral. It is myunderstanding that we will be developing twelve helixes. During thistime, which seems to have started maybe 5 to 20 years ago, we havebeen mutating. This is the scientific explanation. It is a mutationof our species into something for which the end result is not yetknown. The changes are not known publicly, because the scientificcommunity feels it would frighten the population. However, peopleare changing at the cellular level. I am working with three childrenright now who have three DNA helixes. Most people know and feelthis. Many religions have talked about the change and know it willcome about in different ways. We know it is a positive mutation eventhough physically, mentally, and emotionally it can be misunderstoodand frightening.

PR: Are these children displaying any characteristics different fromother children?

BF: These are children who can move objects across the room just byconcentrating on them, or they can fill glasses of water just bylooking at them. They're telepathic. You would almost think byknowing these children that they are half angelic or superhuman, butthey're not. I think they are what we are growing into during thenext few decades.

PR: Do you think this will happen to all of us?

BR: It seems like most people who were born before 1940 have notbeen able to make the shift, but have initiated something into thenext generation that gives them the capacity to form another helixwithin our lifetime. Our immune and endocrine systems are the mostevident of these changes. That is one of the reasons I work withresearch in immunological testing and therapy. Some adults that Ihave tested actually do have another DNA helix forming. Some areeven getting their third. These people are going through a lot ofmajor shifts in their consciousness and physical bodies, because itis all one. In my opinion, the Earth and everyone here is raisingits vibration. Many of the children born recently have bodies thatare magnetically lighter. Those of us that are older and choose tochange have to go through many physical changes.

PR: What causes change in bodies born with normal two-strand DNA?

BF: The easiest way to mutate our DNA is through a virus.Consequently viruses are not necessarily bad. Viruses live only onliving tissue. DNA viruses like Epstein Barr and the Herpes #6change cellular structure. The retrovirus HIV is not a DNA virus.Instead of mutating the body, it actually eats it up. Most peoplewho go through this process and come out the other side have a newprofession, a new way of thinking, or at least a starting of a newway of life. Even though they may feel really sick, tired, orhopeless at times, it is a gift. They are being given a chance tochange their DNA structure and their body into a lighter, healthierbody that can see them into the next generation. The angels that arebeing seen are signs that we are shifting. As I understand it, wehave until about 2012 to complete this process.

PR: What other changes should we expect to see?

BF: There will be no disease, we will not need to die. We will beable to learn our lessons, not through suffering, but through joyand love. The old system has to crumble away, and is not doing thatwithout putting up a big fight. So you have all the wars; a lot ofthe medical-type of healing is not working; the government is notworking. A lot of the old paradigms can no longer exist yet arefighting to be maintained, but there is no doubt that it ischanging. Those of us who have chosen to live at this time are theforerunners of almost a new species. It is human, yet we are at thesame time actually manifesting heaven on Earth. We are receivingextra help from masters and extraterrestrials, angelic beings, andlearning to go inward. The more we are able to go in and listen tothat quiet voice, the more we are in tune with the changes that arehappening.

PR: What are some of the side effects of these changes?

BF: With a cellular change you are sometimes going to feel as thoughyou are not here. You may feel exhaustion, because we are literallychanging cells and becoming new beings. Like a new baby, you mayneed lots of rest. Mental confusion and not being able toconcentrate on routine tasks may happen as we are being programmedfor something larger. Aches and pains throughout the body for whichthere is no specific cause are common. Many people feel as thoughthey are going crazy. If they go into an orthodox medical office,most likely they will be put on Prozac, because they can't definewhat it is. It is difficult for the medical profession becausetheyare not used to dealing with the energy body.

Because the chakras are related to our endocrine system, women willgo through hormonal changes. There may be crying without knowing whybecause crying releases hormones. Many women are going throughmenopause earlier because we are accelerating. Men may be veryfrustrated with the exhaustion when they are used to being veryactive. They may feel their feminine side coming out because this isthe intuitive side. The emotional therapy that has been coming outin the last 20 to 30 years has been speeded up with new techniquesfor these changes. We are actually doing a tremendous amount ofemotional work in a very short time, which would have takenthousands of years.

PR: How do you treat someone who is going through these changes?

BF: I approach it from the viewpoint of working with individualbeings instead of treating a disease. 'Doctor' in Latin meanseducator. The only effective service you can perform as a truehealer is to empower individuals with the necessary tools andreassure them that what is appening is real, and that they can healand be free of the 'negative' symptoms while healing.

First, I require immunological testing that is not traditionallydone. This is a blood laboratory test performed by an advancedspecialty research lab. Then I give the patient the informationthemselves. This is much like a map of the changes so they can havethe power to heal. I am not the healer but only an instrument intheir individual healing process. There is power in a person lookingat their own blood tests and seeing map of what is going on in theirbodies that causes something to click in the subconscious. The realkey is that the person take responsibility and do their own work.What I use as tools are not commonly used. I use a lot ofOrganotherapy, which is a glandular treatment from Europe, to buildup the hormonal system to accept the changes in the DNA. Also, I usehomeopathy to work on the energetic body, vitamins, herbs, and coldlaser therapy. The therapy depends entirely on individual needs.Much of what I do has been accessed from those whom I would callolder sisters and brothers who have gone on before us. They are fromother solar systems that we have all come from to help this planetwith its transition.

PR: How do you see your work evolving?

BF: I look at my work as a bridge or transition. It is bothscientific and artistic. Healing is an art and a science. Using onlyscience or just the art of healing is not enough for completehealth. I don't think I will be a healer all my life because Ibelieve disease will be eliminated. We as conscious people willeliminate disease and suffering.

DNA AND BODY CHANGES AND REMEDIES Extracted from an article 'TheBigger Picture' by Susanna Thorpe-Clark We are being changedphysically from carbon-based beings with 2 strands of DNA intocrystalline beings with 1,024 strands of DNA (eventually), becauseonly crystalline substances can exist on higher dimensional levels.We are in fact having our bodies merged with Sirian DNA strands asthis format is close enough to our own to be able to integrate withrelatively little side effects. It is not just we humans who arechanging, but all life forms on Earth are becoming crystalline. Allthe fish in the sea, the flowers and trees in your garden, the birdsin the sky, even your pet dog or cat. Everything is changing.Nothing will die or be destroyed, for we are all moving togetherinto a new state of being. This new state of being requires,therefore, that we physically, mentally and emotionally let go of3rd-dimensional concepts. Just as in death, the letting go is amajor part of the change process for one cannot take the old valuesand way of being into a new completely different afterlife. So theprogression through changes compels us to let go of currentrelationships, jobs, careers, homes, possessions, and so on, if theyare unable to support our new way of being. Is it any wonder,therefore, that there is a great deal of anxiety and fear being feltbecause these changes are already in progress, even though mostpeople are not conscious of it.

* Delving into the past - and looking at relationships, gainingclarity on personal issues.

* Feeling of a huge purge

* Tension, anxiety and high stress levels - because one feels thatsomething is going on but doesn't know what it is.

Some of these symptoms are being felt by a great many people. Manyare rushing off in panic to their doctor, chiropractor, herbalist,and so on, and are usually told that there is nothing wrong withthem. This is the truth because all these symptoms are justtemporary and simply indicate that these physiological changes areoccurring.

Some of the RECOMMENDED RELIEF REMEDIES for the above are:

* Go with the flow, don't fight it. If you feel tired and exhausted,rest and get plenty of sleep.

* Drink lots of water, for you are detoxifying and dehydratingquicker than usual.

* To relieve emotional tension and stress levels take Valerian.

* Fenugreek relieves stress on the lymphatic system and helps thedetoxification.

* To relieve muscle spasm take Valerian and try mud baths or a long,hot soak in a bath to which you add a cup of Epsom salts. Do thisdaily.

Recognise that even if you are having heart palpitations orbreathing difficulties, it is the heart chakra or the throat chakrathat is unblocking and that the symptoms are temporary. You aren'tdying, just changing! However, don't just take my word for it. Seekmedical guidance if you are unsure. If you don't know where to getValerian or Fenugreek, try a health food store or, better still,simply say the name in your head when you need relief. All healingenergies are transmitted via the sound of the name and are just aseffective said in the mind or aloud, as in physically taking them.Try it and see. Ask your angel guides to help relieve any pain. Theyare just waiting to be asked! Most symptoms seem to last a couple ofweeks, then clear up. Some symptoms may recur from time to time.These changes are not neccessarily being experienced by everyoneconcurrently. A very small percentage of adults have alreadycompleted the entire change into crystalline form and now embody1,024 strands of DNA.One report is of a woman who has grown 3 inches taller and afoot-size larger. All children under the age of 7 have also nowcompleted the change, or will shortly do so. Babies born in the past2 years have all been born with the full set of DNA. Some people areonly just starting to move through these changes, and many othershave yet to start. This process of change is known as the Awakening,or as the Ascension process, or known as achieving the Merkabah, orlight body. We need to transcend our fears and learn about love,real love, which has to start with the self. Because until we canlove and trust ourself, we cannot truly love or trust anything oranybody else.

as i said; i did not write this but was given this article in an e-mail several years ago! i find it relevant to certain medical research that is currently being done! do with this information as you will! believe or not, the choice is yours, and one way or the other it provokes thought!

What is the difference between what Simon did and what reiki students do when paying for reiki training? What is the difference between what the apostles did and what reiki teachers are doing when charging for reiki classes?

These are excellent questions that have been asked of me by people before. When I first got into reiki many years ago, I asked these same questions. For those who don’t know the bible story, Simon was a man who practiced magical arts. He fooled many people including himself into thinking he was a great being. Phillip however preached to him, and did miracles in his presence. Simon accepted the gospel and was converted. Simon however was still a baby Christian immature in his relationship to God. He saw the miracles of the apostles and was amazed by them, but he did not understand their true and real purpose. He saw the apostles laying hands on people and the people receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit and he offered money to the apostles to give him that power also. The apostles chastised him with sharp tongues and rebuked him saying that he and his money should parish together. He begged for forgiveness and asked that they pray for him that it would not be so.

What crime did Simon really commit? What was the point of the story? His trying to buy God, God’s salvation, God’s authority, God’s power, God’s gifts. The fact that he offered money showed that he knew what the apostles had was valuable. But he didn’t really understand its true value, and what’s more Simon wanted to take credit for himself and not give God the glory.

In reiki you are paying for the teachers time not the reiki. reiki is something you already have, and just need to learn how to tap into it better. A reiki master can attune you to the reiki energy to allow you to have greater access to it, they can teach you how to become good vessels for the energy, they can show you how to direct its flow when necessary. But reiki masters can not save your soul, nor can they give you the power, they can not give you reiki, only God can do that! Again Reiki masters can help open you up to the energy but it is what happens in your inner relationship with God, with the universe, and with reiki in your soul that will determine how effective the reiki is with you, or if it indeed flows freely in you at all! It has been my experience that reiki people who didn’t know God could still help me but their energy was not as fast, as effective, or as intensely overwhelming as the people who have done reiki on me who knew God. You can’t buy or sell reiki. that is not what it is all about. Even when reiki people do sessions on clients, we are not charging them for our prayers or the reiki, that would be breaking a very serious divine prohibition. It would be unethical. We are charging for our time, our overhead, and our materials because our time is valuable. Our time is in fact just as valuable as everyone else’s. And to further the point, when people sacrifice nothing, when they don’t pay for something, it is usual that they devalue it, or undervalue it. Even salvation has a price. While some may think that God’s salvation is a free for all gift for us, it is not. I would urge people to read scripture more closely, and to have a conversation with God. What does God’s salvation cost you may ask? Nothing less then utter submission to the divine will. You have to love God, believe in Christ, ask forgiveness, and then you have to let go and let God. You have to turn your entire life over to him. It is not about giving up your free will and becoming a slave, oh no! it is about becoming a servant who gives their will freely over to God. It has to be their free will choice. This may sound like a steep price, and it scares people away from having a deep and abiding relationship with God. In reality however it is the easiest thing a person could ever do if they can get past their own fear, and their own illusion that they are in control, and just trust God, and let him love them. So it is with reiki. reiki masters sacrifice their time, and so much of their lives that first level students can’t imagine or understand, in order to bring people this wonderful gift. Students are called upon to share a little of their financial harvest, and abundance to help take care of the material needs of their teachers, just as their teachers take care of their energetic, metaphysical, and even some of their spiritual needs. This was also true of Christ and the apostles to some extent. While Christ did come from an affluent family he and the apostles still worked; however people did give food, money, clothing, and lodgings. Even today people give doctors money the way they did to physicians and shamans in ancient times. Simon wanted to share the gift of the holy spirit with people. That desire in and of itself was not bad. It was in fact good. But he went about it the wrong way. He thought there was something that he could do, some way he could buy the worthiness to have that gift. There is nothing we can ever say or do that can make us worthy. We can not buy our way into holiness. We must let go, and let God make us worthy. And even after he makes us worthy it takes time and discipline to live into that worthiness. We must over time, with aging, and experiencing life with God mature in him, and gain wisdom from him. It is not we who make ourselves worthy but it is God who makes us sanctified. Simon wanted to take credit for what the Holy Spirit of God was doing. Why? He like all of us wanted to be loved, to be recognized, to be accepted, appreciated, to be admired! What he failed to grasp in that stage of his spiritual infancy is that it is God’s acceptance we really want, not other peoples. We don’t really need other peoples acceptance. In the end of all things God’s approval is all that will matter. Does it feel great to be loved, accepted, and admired? Yes of course it does! But what is the true profit, the true benefit to it in the end. The only thing that matters is God’s love for us. If Simon would have just trusted in God and gave God the time and opportunity to share his love with him, he would have received the ultimate reward. There is nothing in existence that is better then God’s Love. Perhaps God would have given Simon the power of the Holy Spirit had he simply asked for it, and asked for the right reasons, instead of trying to buy it. Simon tried to buy God, and that is not only impossible but beyond disrespectful. He tried to cheat his way ahead in his relationship with God instead of letting it develop as any relationship has to in its own time, at its own pace. A tree does not simply magically appear in your garden. A seed has to be planted and it has to grow, in its own time, in its own way. Simon tried to purchase the power to do miracles! He didn’t want the power to give glory to God or further the cause of Christ. He wanted glory for himself. God through the apostles chastised him for it and rightly so. Is reiki part of the power of the Holy Spirit? Yes it is. And I have seen God use even atheistic people as vessels to channel and wield that power. Why? Did it bring glory to them, really? No! in the end God had his way and his glory blazed brightly as it always does. Did the atheistic vessels know it? No, probably not! Did the person receiving the healing know it? Perhaps! But I can say for certain that the entire universe witnessed God’s display of power, generosity, mercy, compassion, and love, and all that is good in the universe sees this and praises him for it. All that is good in the universe pays homage to the holiness of God and gives him the glory! Simon it is said learned his lesson and spiritually evolved into a deeper understanding of God and a deeper relationship with God. The real question is, have we? Reiki will not save someone’s soul. Reiki is merely the gift of healing. it can change our earthly lives that is true; but it will never change our eternal lives unless we say to “God be the glory”, and then let God use the reiki as a tool to refine us and make us ever more like Christ with his Love, mercy, generosity, and compassion. This is the only way in which reiki will have anything to do with enhancing our eternal soul. Reiki can not give us salvation, you can’t buy salvation, and you can’t buy reiki. reiki can however be a fruit of our salvation if we really understand it and what it is. Reiki can give us a tool, a way in which to experience the Grace of God’s healing in our lives; the grace of the balance and wholeness that he can grant us. Reiki is not a means to salvation but a product of salvation. Can unsaved people do reiki? yes, but they will never truly receive the ultimate benefits from it. They will never learn its greatest lessons; the higher mystery teachings that it has to impart or bequeath to them. You will know them by their fruits God told us; (speaking of his children that have received his gift of salvation and eternal life; leaving the issue of religion aside, in the case of reiki the salvation I am speaking of here can be seen as enlightenment. Are you enlightened?)! When you see a reiki master, practitioner, or student you will know where their hearts are, how far along they are in their spiritual evolution if you just watch, and listen. They will reveal themselves to you even in the most subtle ways. You will know them by their fruits! Ask yourself when dealing with a reiki person if they are an uneducated Simon before the apostles admonishment to warn him of his foolishness, or are they a mature Simon who has learned their lesson about spiritual morality, and ethics? It is equally important to ask this question of and about yourself. Which Simon are you? Remember to God be the glory! We practitioners of reiki are merely vessels after all.

"But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me." (Acts 8:9-24).

Recently I was watching catholic tv. And a man was speaking. Apparently he was a former protestant who decided to become catholic. He was belittling the protestant notion of “once saved always saved”. This teaching states simply that once Christ has bestowed salvation upon a person it is an eternal salvation that can not be lost. I listened to this man speak and all I could think is “what a moron”! I never knew that roman catholics believed that you could loose your salvation. As if it was something to be lost and regained like a battle with weight. To me it has always been so simple. Either your saved or your not. I should have pieced together that the church of rome believes that you can loose your salvation. Often I have heard on movies nuns and priests telling children that they are “backsliding into the fires of hell”. I thought it was pure scare tactics. I didn’t know the roman church had so much in common with the Baptist church. What an odd notion. This means they believe that the children have reached salvation, that they are on the road to that mature, deep abiding relationship and walk with God, that leads to perfection. Only the children themselves and God could know this. I suppose they think the children were saved due to some ritual like baptism or first communion instead of by the grace of God. Maybe they think it takes the rituals to bestow the grace of salvation. But it takes only a prayer, and total surrender of your soul to its creator. The main problem of roman Catholicism besides worshiping mary as a goddess, and setting up a man (the pope) as a divinely appointed leader of the whole church, is that roman catholics believe in majikal formulas. “say ten hail mary’s and four our father’s” and you will be absolved of your sins. This is ludicrous. All God requires is a repentant heart and for you to ask to be forgiven, and for you to forgive people when they need it of you; even if they don’t ask for it. No majikal formula, no ritual can save you. One is saved by asking God to save you, and by the grace conferred through faith in Christ. What was this man on tv. Talking about? The more he spoke against “once saved always saved” the more I knew it was the truth. It is like he was calling Christ an “Indian giver”. If you misbehave God will take your salvation away; God will take your toy away! That’s what this man wanted people to believe. Yet I know that God never goes back on his word. His promise, his love, his faithfulness, and his salvation endures forever. God is a God of truth. He is not a liar. He is not a mere man (like the pope) that he should deceive us. Though I acknowledge that one can be saved and go through periods of doubt, wandering, misunderstanding, and darkness. One can “back slide” into living in deep sin. But if a person is really truly saved, then they will not be able to remain in darkness. They will be convicted to live correctly, and they will helped and uplifted by God to do just that. If a person can completely disregard God after being “saved”, then I must conclude through common sense, plain reason, and what Christ told us through scripture, that their salvation was never real to begin with but instead it was mere lip service. However Christ’s redemptive work on the cross was eternal without end! His work was and is and will be all sufficient, and perfect. God does not take it back, and to suggest that he does is the worst kind of arrogant blasphemy. It suggests that our sin, and our nature is more powerful than God’s salvation. The true Christian knows better than to believe this folly. I myself was saved when I was three years old. But for years after that I walked far from God; wandering, and searching, and religion hoping. I thought that God hated me, and I was in turn angry at him. Yet I never stopped believing in, or knowing God, though he felt far away. Through events, and inner conviction I came back to the faith. However this would not have happened if I wasn’t saved to begin with. I was saved at age three and no one can tell me differently or convince me that I was not. Though I was saved I didn’t during that days of my wandering, participate in my salvation, or enjoy most of the benefits of a deep abiding relationship with God, until coming back to the faith in high school. I have always found it funny that we refer to our religion as “the faith” when it is something that we know is real and true. Faith is good for new Christians, but I as a mature Christian have a knowing beyond faith. I have experienced God first hand and I now know his power. When I began to write this God spoke to me about “once saved always saved”. He quoted to me a line from the famous c.s. lewis book, “the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe”. The scene is the crowning of the four chosen children. Aslan who represents the Christ is crowning the four children, which is symbolic of salvation, and preparation for entering “Aslan’s country” (heaven) at the end of their reign (life). They are made royal, and given “thrones”, which represents Christ’s appointing each of his children not only to a seat at his heavenly banquet table, but our assignment to a certain task, vocation, ministry, or calling. Then he declares to them for all to hear and bare witness, “once a king or queen of narnia, always a king or queen of narnia”! He was telling them that they were forever his children, bound to him in eternal salvation, love, honor, and duty! So with all certainty I can declare to you the truth! “once saved, always saved”!

From both the Christian and the reiki perspective of karma I would have to say that I look at it differently than my hindu brothers and sisters. The hindus seem to believe from most of the teachings I have read by them that one is forever trapped in an eternal cycle of reincarnation with no hope of escape. As if one’s life cycles were a prison of sorts. The hindu people I have spoken with at least most of them seem to think that one is a slave to ones karma. Well I will respectfully disagree with this concept of karma and incarnation. They also much like the buddhists seem to believe that one can be “punished” by one’s karma in the way one incarnates. They believe that one can come back as something less then they were before. I don’t think that one can ever be anything less than they are. They seem to justify their concept with the idea that “well if I use to be a priest or a king and I come back as a peasant then I was a bad king or an evil priest”. To me this is a rather juvenile notion that is dependent on a human higher-archy and a caste system. To me one could have been a very wise and great king or a devout truly loving and knowledgeable priest and come back as an average person to learn yet another aspect of life. Why would the system of reincarnation whose entire purpose is to evolve one, turn around and demote some body? Where is the lesson in that? The evolution of our soul seems to me to be dependent on us never taking two steps back in the eternal sense of things. In other words, if I do something that requires me to come back and learn a lesson over that I didn’t get, then I will come back pretty much in the same set of circumstances and human dramas that forced me to come back to begin with. Why would I get sent back to lessons I already learned. You always start from where you left off I think. I also believe that a human soul has always been a human soul and will never be anything else. A human soul will always and forever be a human soul. We are here to become the best humans we can be in the spirit world. My soul was never an animal or a rock or a tree. I have always been human. Like wise an animal spirit will always be an animal spirit, a rock spirit will always be a rock spirit, and a tree spirit will always be part of the plant kingdom. Though I do think it is likely that a cat can come back as a dog, an oak can come back as a lavender plant, and an amethyst that gets shattered well that energy might come back as a moonstone or a quartz crystal. So I disagree with my druid ancestors on this subject as well as with the buddhists and the hindu peoples. They may find my ideas strange and wrong, but I like to look at things logically! Lets say there was a bad priest in ancient India, what good would it due his soul to send him back as a goat who has no hope of learning any true lesson from the experience. So to me he would come back and have to learn about being a priest again from the most basic ideas to the higher mysteries of some sort of priesthood. It would not evolve his soul or do his soul any good to go backwards. We should always be looking forward. Also the Christian idea of reincarnation only works if one believes that once saved by Christ always saved by Christ. In other words I think that if one was saved by Christ many lifetimes ago than one will always find their way to Christ no matter how many times one incarnates into after being saved. “once saved always saved”, Christians are forever saying and I think this is true. Thankfully in both the Christian religion and in the reiki philosophy we humans are given ways by the compassionate creator of the universe to break our karma and be free from it. Karma in my opinion has very little to do with “past lives” at all. There may be some issues or tendencies carried over from other lifetimes but I don’t believe the wages or consequences of my past sins are among them. Karma to me is all about this current life and what I do now. The choices that I have made since I became a spiritual adult in this life. The ancients taught us that this happens at thirteen for boys and at the time of first menses for girls. And my karma has been incurred from the time this happened. What you do comes back to you, you reap what you sew, what you send out comes back to thee three times three, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, what goes up must come down, all of these are ways to describe or explain the incurring of ones karmic debt in life. While my current karma may decide where I am placed in a future life it certainly does not decide my fate, or my fortune in that future life. In Christianity we believe that Christ through his redemptive work on the cross atoned for all of our sins past, present, and future. We are washed clean of them through the blood of Christ, and the salvation that his Holy Spirit brings us. All we need to do is ask for forgiveness and try to right the wrongs we do and we are freed from karmic debt. For one to break free of their karma and be healed from it, one must first be made aware of it. We Christians are blessed because we have the Holy Spirit of God to convict our spirits and tell us when we have crossed the line and done something wrong. We as humans almost always know don’t we? The reiki philosophy is in harmony with the Christian idea of karma. There are many symbols that masters use to help people change, heal, and break free of their karma. These symbols go inside our beings on a deep level and help us to awaken to the reality of our karma so that we can change it. They help us to deal with our karma in a practical and very real way. Once we are made aware of our karma we can then decide to make better choices and to try and make restoration for anything that we have done wrong. I don’t think the Buddhist idea is to far from this. Monks seem to know this at a very early age, in fact it seems to be one of the first things they learn as a monk, and they spend the rest of their lives very keenly aware of this truth. That is why they live and lead a life of service and meditation. They are freeing themselves from their incurred karmic debt as they see it. Once we understand our karma then we can begin to in a very dynamic way change what is, to what can be. I am not writing this to offend my hindu brothers and sisters or my buddhist brothers and sisters but to clarify the stance and position of the reiki philosophy and its idea that people can be made free of their old karma, and change their paradigm so their new karma will be good. The first step as I have said from the reiki stand point and also the Christian standpoint is to be made ultra aware of ones karma. The second step is to unravel its mystery and learn to understand it and how one earned it. Then finally one is free to ask forgiveness and make atonement and reparation for their wrong doings. Asking forgiveness and being repentant isn’t enough. One must take steps to right their wrongs, to bring justice and mercy to a situation they helped create. They must help balance the scales the helped to imbalance. This is true repentance. And God can see into the hearts of mankind. There was a saying I heard a woman preacher by the name of Joyce Myers speak one time that has always stayed with me. “If we do everything that we can do, then God will do everything we can’t”. I think this is one of the truest things ever spoken. I am writing this commentary on karma in response to an experience I had not long ago. A friend Rhonda Taylor an I who are both reiki masters were teaching a class on the second level of reiki together. Symbols were discussed that we use as reiki masters to help free people from their Karma. A dear and very intelligent woman named Roshi in the class as a student looked at me confused and horrified when I spoke of people being freed from their karma. In her opinion this can not be. And more it seemed to me that she thinks it would be a blasphemy to try. Well I got so intrigued and entertained by her response that I prayed and meditated on this for a several days. I organized my thoughts on this and came to my conclusions after speaking with God and the teachers that he sends to me. For one to be trained as a reiki master one must learn this basic concept of reiki that teaches one can be made free of their old karma and change their future karma. Other wise why are we even here at this earth school if not to learn, evolve, and grow? One does not have to believe this, or hold it as a truth, or even teach it to their future students but one must be made aware of this part of the reiki philosophy to become a reiki master in my opinion. Even though me and darling Roshi apparently disagree on this issue I still love her and hold her as one of the dearest women I have ever had the honor and privilege to help teach. I hope she still loves me after reading this. I also want to thank her for bringing light to this particular subject for me. She made me see that there are certain concepts of reiki that might need further explaining for future students and now I have a way of addressing these better. It was her questioning of this part of the reiki philosophy that made me re-educate myself as to why I think what I think, and now I understand reiki even better then I did before. As a teacher there have been a few students who challenged me and made me grow as a teacher, to become a better one then I was before. Roshi is definitely one of these special students and again I want to thank her!

There are some issues about reiki I feel I must address, so that the students we as reiki masters send out will know how to answer people. I was having a conversation on the internet one day with a man who I am guessing was a very misguided seminary student. We were discussing reiki. This man was very uneducated about what reiki is and what it is not. Though he claimed to be a reiki practitioner, he went so far as to say that in the united kingdom where he was located he has distanced himself from the reiki community there. Why? Because he felt they were the misguided ones. How did he come by what I call his mis-education about reiki? Well for several years he was apart of martial arts school. These people instructed him about the word reiki. To many people in the orient especially in the martial arts communities the word reiki is no different than saying the word chi or ki. To them it just means energy. the energy of the universe. In fact in the orient the word reiki is widely used for a variety of healing modalities as well as general use as the word energy. that is why we who practice reiki in the west always reference usui reiki ryoho. This is reiki as taught by usui and his school. This martial artist became very agitated when I said that reiki was a spiritual energy. “NO” he said “it’s cosmological, it is natural, it’s effect is in the corporeal realm”. Well I explained to him that it most definitely is natural, cosmological, and it is also spiritual. The physical is manifested and sustained by the spiritual. Everything to me is spiritual. Nothing exists that did not and does not and will not stem from a spiritual source. People always throw the word supernatural at me. They seem to think that supernatural means something that is un natural. Well this is not what the word means. Super natural means just what it says; super natural, that is another way of saying supremely natural. It also means the same thing as the word metaphysical, which means beyond the physical. The word reiki is translated to mean “universal life force energy”. when usui used the rei in reiki which translates to mean universal life force he meant a good deal more than the simple word he used. Rei implies not only the energy that all existence is made out of. Rei in this context implies also the source of all life, all living energy in the manifested universe. Usui was speaking about the divine or God. He was saying that the very energy of existence is filled and animated by the life force of the divine. God breaths life, the breath of life into all things and animates them with it. Usui was teaching us that the very energy of the divine used to animate all things was made readily available to us as a tool and a gift from God to help us as we make our way through this life. The martial artist was also very upset when I said that you can’t cause harm with reiki, it will not manifest anything negative, and it is no harm no foul. “Yes you can cause harm with reiki” he said “martial arts training is just that” “part of the training” he went on to say “is to concentrate ones own ki whilst deflecting and suppressing your opponents. Where the ki goes the blade follows”. This poor man does not know which way is up when it comes to the reiki taught by usui and others before him in history. He solved his own dilemma in his own words. Part of martial arts training is to concentrate and focus ones own ki. Ones own ki is right. You can use regular ki to cause a lot of damage. Ones own energy can be harnessed to cause someone, something, or ones own self a lot of damage indeed. Don’t people spend their entire lives doing just that; misusing their energy. But when we say the rei in reiki as teachers of the usui tradition we are not speaking of using ones own energy. in fact that is just what we tell our students not to do. We tell them to draw on the divine energy of God which is spiritual energy, as well as drawing on the energy of this planet which is powered by the sun star in order to help people heal. We should never presume to use our own energy to do this for several reasons. One is that it would deplete us and drain us, thereby leaving as vulnerable as the shamans of old who didn’t know how to ground themselves properly to take on the illnesses that plague our clients. Eventually taking on other peoples sicknesses would kill us as it did the shamans of ancient times. Secondly we physicians need to heal ourselves and take the beam out of our own eye. Our energy is not a high enough frequency to accomplish all that needs to be accomplished during a healing. That is why we use God’s own ki to work with and not ours. We always instruct our students that we are not the source of the reiki, nor do we ultimately control it, we are simply vessels and wielders of the reiki. And to be a reiki master does not mean that you master reiki but rather that reiki masters you! Ki and reiki are very different things altogether. The martial artist whose name was Thomas went onto to other issues he had with me, although he did not know me or the amount of training I did or didn’t have. He said that fools rush in, and that anyone could be a “reiki master” now in the space of a weekend. There are many false reiki teachers in the world. People like diane stein who try and do mass attunements, who try and do distant attunements, and there are places on the internet now that claim they will make you a “reiki master” through these ridiculous methods within twenty four hours or a weekend. These things do not work. These methods do not attune someone to reiki. You can not become a reiki master overnight. It takes hard work, and discipline, as well as true spiritual growth to achieve true mastership as usui taught it. I assured the doubting Thomas that I had actual training that lasted for a good long while, and that even after I had my masters certificate it was a long while after that I waited till I took on students and started teaching. Let me say this again in as plain a language as I can. If you did a weekend class that ended with a mass “attunement”, if you did a twenty four hour class that ended with a distance “attunement” than you are not a real reiki master or practitioner, according to the usui tradition. You have missing frequencies that can only be passed on through the actual touch, of laying on of hands; by a true master who is acting as a channel for the divine energy to come and do its work. There are also people who are charging anywhere between six hundred and ten thousand dollars per level. These people are also charlatans and frauds. They do not understand reiki or they would not be doing that. Reiki isn’t about money even though we do believe in charging for our time and our work. So I personally feel anyone charging over five hundred dollars per level is a false teacher and you should stay far away from them. Thomas was also very dismayed at the fact that I spoke of reiki as being a living conscious energy. he shuttered and used the “O” word. That is occult philosophy he said, and now we were treading in deep dangerous waters. Oooooooooouuuu……now I am fearful and trembling in my shoes was my response. Every time someone starts to try and fill you with fear tell them that there is no room for fear and evil in your life because you are filled with the love of God, you are filled with his Holy Spirit, and you are devoted to the lord. God is perfect and God is love, and the bible says perfect Love casts out all fear. So if you are afraid of God then you don’t really know him or love. He is not out to deceive you or do you harm. This is a ridiculous notion. Either you fear God or love God. You can’t have it both ways. He was upset because I said I don’t always know what I am doing but the reiki knows. Reiki is the presence of God. It does know best. It is an intelligent force that emanates from the creator of the universe who is the source of all love and compassion and true power. It is not simply an energy. it is more than this. Are you simply an energy? no you are also more than this. So if you yourself are more than mere energy, and you are channeling the energy of God into a person to try and help them find healing, than that energy has to know the full depths, and heights, the ins and out’s of a persons entire five fold soul being. You alone are not wise enough to know the heart of a person in its vast full richness. Only God can know this. Therefore the energy of God that comes to facilitate a healing must know this or else we could not and would not get results, it wouldn’t work, the energy could not do it’s job and accomplish true healing any other way. Reiki must be a living presence that knows what it is doing. Either you understand this or not. Either you know that it is God who is the source of all healing and life force or you don’t. If you do not know this then you have no business laying your hands on people to heal them. To God be the glory, we are mere vessels, and proud to be so. Thomas also said that acupuncturists and reflexologists don’t claim spiritual intervention. Well he has not known the ones that I have been privileged to know, because they did just that. According to the people that I have met who practiced these types of modalities, they understood that the divine spiritual energy had as much to do with the guidance, practice, and success of their work as their techniques or their own minds did. Thomas said to me that becoming a reiki master did not require any sacrifice or character building. Well I will say that he was and is absolutely wrong on that issue. I have been a reiki master for almost a decade and I can tell you that it is without a doubt entirely about character building. God has shaped me, sometimes painfully to mold me into who and what I am. My refining is not done and never will be. That is what life is all about here in this earth school. Thomas told me that any liar, and fraud can be a reiki master. Well I know many false teachers who went and got the title in a weekend and teach entirely from a misguided standpoint. They are not reiki masters even though they think they are. It is no different in church, just as Christ himself warned us. There will be many false priests and teachers of the law, many who come in my name and do not know me. Christ acknowledged that those people are not real priests or teachers, so my attitude can not hold any different truth on this issue. Thomas wanted to know if reiki was a presence than who was it. I can tell you with no hesitation that when I do reiki or have it done on me there is only one presence that I feel moving through me and that is the presence of Christ God Emanuel as the Holy Spirit. He went on to describe the “psychic link” or bond as he called it that is forged during an attunement between the teacher and the student. Well no, he is mistaken. There is an energy cord formed called an aka cord. This cord of energy is the same cord formed no matter what person you come into contact with. Some are big, and some are small, some are temporary, and others last for many years. When this cord is formed it is an energetic connection not a psychic one and in the reiki tradition this energetic link has been called “en” pronounced eeen. The only psychic link formed during a reiki attunement is between the student and God’s reiki. Though the cord may be thinned it is not typically cut until training is completely over and one of the parties usually the teacher cuts it on purpose. Thomas went on to say that he respected reiki because you can cure or kill with it. I adamantly oppose this notion, it is wrong and I will fight against whenever I hear it. You can not kill or harm with reiki, only with ki. And as stated before there is a huge difference between the two. Again I will also restate that reiki is both natural and spiritual since I make no distinction between the two. The more spiritual something is, the more apart of God it is, the more natural it is. Because God is the most natural thing. He further explained that I and others like me in happy ignorance invented and lived in whole realms of pure reiki fantasy. Well I am a realist and a pragmatist. Anyone who really knows me will testify that while I absolutely love fantasy, I do not live in one. Some people might say I lead a charmed life, those that really know me, understand this is not the case and could not be farther from the truth. My life may be many things but fanciful and easy it is not. Though I have no real complaints at this point, I feel I am very blessed indeed. As I explained to Thomas there are many things that I am working on changing about myself and the life I live, but despite those things I am blessed. Thomas reported to me that “reiki guides” were an epidemic in his locale, and he said people were urgently being told to find theirs. The way he spoke he was not talking about the reiki guides at all but rather about spirit guides. He philosophized for me that this was a kind of psychic or spiritual Russian roulette. People are just assuming he said that all spirits are good, helpful, and safe. Well I personally test all the spirits I speak to and work with to see if they are from God. Christ has given us a way to do this in scripture. He said people were being led to enter into “contracts” as he called them with unsavory spirit beings. He also added that such beings demanded a boon, and fed off of peoples energy. While I think he is right to a large extent about this issue, I disagree with taking a position of fear. I will give fear and evil no room in my life. Any seasoned individual who has had contact with spirits knows what should and should not happen. For us who are Christians we simply have to ask if yashua now called Jesus Christ came in the flesh. If the spirit says yes than it is of God. In the first great war in heaven only one third fell, which means there are two thirds or twice as many beings that are of God than are not of him. We Christians have also been instructed to put on the full armor of God. So for me at least it is quite easy to ascertain whether or not a spiritual being is of God. Also a spirit sent by God would never ask for worship or a payment, a compensation, or even a thank you. They would never try to make you feel afraid or ashamed. They would tell you to fear not, and to thank and honor God. The spirits who are of God give him all the glory. According to the theories that Thomas proposed teachers who have spirits misguiding them go out and corrupt their students. While this may in some cases be true, to make it into a blanket statement is an unfair underestimation of both reiki students and God himself. All of my students are taught to test the spirits and check them out to see if they are really here to help or hurt us. He went on to say that power can be used for good or ill. Well I say that power that is used for ill is no power at all but rather it is the height of insecurity. I have had many interesting interactions with fear based people, and many reactions from them. Once I had many so-called Christian friends, and they all stopped talking to me in one failed swoop. While on the phone with the leader of our pack you might say she began to tell me about the church service that she had attended that day and how the preacher was warning people of the evil new witchcraft leading people in the church astray. She went on to say that this new evil was called reiki. I laughed and asked her if she knew that I practiced and taught reiki and had done so for years. “oh no” she cried out in horror. “how can you do such a wicked thing”? I told her that she and the preacher who told her about reiki were both very wrong indeed! I told what reiki was and was not. She asked me if I told my students that they have to be saved Christians to do a healing. I said “no of course I don’t tell them such a ridiculous notion”! she sounded concerned and irritated. I could tell in her mind I was already burning in the fires of hell. I asked her if every time she went to the doctors office she asked the doctors religious persuasion? “no of course not” she said “why would I do that”? exactly I said! God is not limited by the hearts of men. If he wants a healing to take place he will use whatever vessel is around, whether that vessel is willing or unwilling, broken or whole, whether it acknowledges him or not! God uses atheistic doctors all the time to work healing miracles on people. He will even do a healing when no vessel is around if a healing needs to be done. And with that one conversation I lost all the Christian friends that I had for so many years. I decided that I didn’t really care. It hurt for a while but the trade off was well worth it because I know that I am doing the work that God himself wants me to do. I also had an older married couple come one time. I trained them in level one and they left never to contact me or return again. They would not even take my calls. Later I found out that after I taught them reiki they went around telling people that I did evil things to them called attunements and they had to get exercised afterwards so they could feel clean again. I think they had many very deep spiritual problems long before they ever laid eyes on the sight of me. I prayed for them and their misguided placement of blame for their spiritual turbulence. I prayed that they would find their way back to God, his truth, and his reiki. Then once in massage school there was a girl who went around telling people that she didn’t like my energy. She said a lot of nasty things about me. After finding out who was spreading these awful lies about me I instantly knew why she hated me. She hated me because I was a proud Christian man. She hated Christianity and everything to do with it. But if I were to gather up all the bad experiences that I have had since learning reiki, they could never even begin to compare with the number of all the good experiences that I have had. God used reiki to help transform my life into something I never dreamed that it could be. He used my reiki master Laura to teach me how to see life in such a very different and expanded way; full of richness I never knew before. God has brought me colleagues, friends, and students to share in this wonderful gift of life and love with. His reiki changed me, changed my life forever and I will always be grateful to him for that. I can only conclude by pointing out the differences in Thomas’s fear based mindset and mine. I am making my way through this life and I know God and his reiki are here on my path helping me. I feel protected, safe, and loved. I know that God and his reiki are here evolving me. I am not afraid and you should never be either. Fear not! Just love God and devote yourself to him and that will make all the difference. I promise you it will transform your life into a sacred treasure and gift that you never knew it could be!

Reiki boosts the immune system. The immune system is the body’s own natural defense and self healing system. stress can damage and when bad enough kill our immune system. Reiki and other forms of healing touch therapy can strengthen, heal, and enhance one’s immune system. By removing toxic and disruptive energy patterns from your own natural healthy energy patterns, deep healing can occur even at the cellular level.

Reiki promotes balance, wholeness, wellness, accelerated healing, and consciousness.
Assists in balancing your spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical energies.
Releases stress and tension.
Reiki seeks out the root causes of diseases, and helps reduce and alleviate symptoms and pain. The main purpose of “healing” is to help one become whole.

Healing is defined and described as: Fixing the problem. Balancing the imbalance. Making something broken, damaged, fractured, incomplete or partial, whole again. To restore, renew, regenerate, revitalize, reanimate, rejuvenate, refresh, and resurrect. To fill emptiness, voids, or holes. To repair. To make sound or whole. to restore to health. to cause an undesirable condition to be overcome. To MEND. To end trouble. To mend undesired situations, issues, concerns, worries, problems, and conditions. To patch up (a breach or division). To restore to original purity or integrity. To be healed of sin. to return to a sound state. To negate wrong. To end fear, violence, or evil. To bring together that which has been wrongly separated. To make authentic. To nourish. To nurture. To comfort. To act compassionately (a compassionate action). To reframe an experience and change one’s perception of that experience to something positive. To be made whole. To be remade, reborn, refurbished, reenergized, etc…

Reiki is a power of force emanating from the Holy Spirit. This force helps us to become whole and spiritually evolve.
“Becoming whole expresses the true nature of healing”. Author unknown

Reiki helps boost one’s energy levels or relax ones energy levels as needed.
Learning to recognize, accept, and utilize this energy is what the training classes are all about. Training opens you up further and attunes you in a deep, vast, profound way to the energy. Reiki is an awesome tool for accelerating not only the healing process but our personal, evolution as well. Our personal earth school enhancement learning process, our life’s journey quest, our spiritual enlightenment can and will be enriched with and through Reiki.

Reiki can improve the connection between the different aspects of the five fold nature of the human soul being; the metaphysical body unit including the auric field (subtle metaphysical etheric energetic bodies) the chakras, the meridians, as well as the physical body. The proverbial heart, the mind, the spirit, and the imagination.

Reiki can be an important vehicle for accessing, experiencing, and expressing “Spirit”.

Reiki is not a religion but a spiritual art, practice, discipline, therapy, technique, and tradition that cuts across all religious and cultural barriers.

Reiki is about experiencing God-power, the true and highest power which is the divine will of the light of love. This process is all about transformation.

Reiki works well when blended with other healing modalities.

Reiki cleanses, clears, and purifies the body and in fact the entire soul being of toxins.
It enhances medical treatments. Enhances and accelerates the immune system, aids us in repairing cell, and D.N.A. damage. It also repairs higher soul damage and soul loss, even that which is located in the higher self.

Reiki can minimize negative energies and feelings until they dissipate. Feelings like helplessness, powerlessness which one may experience in times of crises of trauma, or in cases where one is battling attacks like cancer or disease, or even mental, emotional, or spiritual attacks. Reiki repairs and revitalizes the recipient and the therapist. Reiki therapists are vessels, Channels, and priests of this energy. they know how to invoke and wield the energy. Reiki works on the client by repairing any and all damage on any and all levels that the client allows themselves to be affected and healed on. It reduces stress and all the effects of stress. It can help awaken one to a new perception of life; one’s true calling, vocation, mission, meaning, purpose, and destiny. It can help you ask yourself, and receive and answer to those age old questions “why am I here, what is my higher purpose, where is this all leading, where do I come from, who am I really, and where am I going”? Reiki can help one take that one giant step, that one quantum leap forward in ones evolutionary soul journey to a deep abiding eternal loving relationship with God. Reiki is true progress.

It can help us reframe our life experiences to see things from a larger picture, a higher truth and awareness, a higher perspective, to see things through heavens eyes the way God sees them. This is Christ consciousness. It facilitates learning, growing, wisdom, knowledge, righteousness, right action, thankfulness, freedom, balance, harmony, optimal health, peace, calmness, serenity, serendipity, kismet, synchronicity, hope, joy, Ecstaisis, grounding, and centering.

Reiki can anesthetize pain, and discomfort. It Releases negative energy patterns we carry some of which might be from past lives, or past traumas. It can help reveal and reconnect us with our highest self expression, our true, honest, creative, vital, authentic self, our core identity!

It can align one’s energies to better focus and function. The brain (consciousness, mind, connection to the collective unconscious, cranial sacral system, nervous system, spinal cord, etc…), the unified auric field system (including the meridians and the chakra system), and the heart (proverbial heart, the pulmonary, and the respiratory systems) all play apart in this.

Touch itself is healing, and Reiki will meet, and heal any touch deficit one may occur. Touch deficit is a disease whereby one dies from lack of human touch and contact. We human beings were made interconnected, and interdependent on each other. Reiki can help train our action, reaction response system, and discipline you to help better control your behavior, thoughts, words, and actions.

Re-pattern and reprogram your holographic self ( unified subtle body system), through Reiki, and also through auric field therapy, the chakra system of India, and the five element meridian system of China.
